We need your help! Some of our members are conducting research the downtown Minneapolis on 19 August 2009. There is short survey you can fill out to help. If you were in the Twin Cities that day, or if you or someone you know has a recollection about the tornado or the events surrounding it, please complete this short survey for them. It takes most people about 5 minutes. (Mar 6)

Our March meeting is set! Details can be found on our events page. (Feb 22)
